Benjamin Wins Re/Max 250

Travis Benjamin has finally become a Re/Max 250 champion at Speedway 660.

Benjamin, who collected $20,200 for his win in the event, took the lead from Ben Rowe at Lap 228 to take the win. Rowe, who was trying to complete the Triple Crown and become the first driver to win all three Maritime 250s in his career, finished second after hounding Benjamin for the win. Austin Theriault, who won the Modern Electric Halfway Award and led many laps in the feature, finished third. Joey Doiron was fourth with Lonnie Sommerville fifth after a late pit stop.

Benjamin led 104 laps in the race, chased closely in the category by Theriault (95). Dylan Gosbee (37), Dave O’Blenis (8), Joey Doiron (5) and Rowe (2) led laps in the event.

Dylan Gosbee led early laps in the event but got tangled up with Matt Harris with 55 to go. Dave O’Blenis started pole in the event but blew a motor just after halfway in the race.

The race took 2 hours, 13 minutes to complete. Ten of the 27 cars finished on the lead lap.

Complete event statistics are not available at this time.

The track is currently getting ready for the final Enduro race of the season, which will go green shortly after 2pm.
